Aurifil Designer of the Month for November – and a giveaway!

“For Ella‘s Sister” by Jacquelynne Steves

Aurifil’s Designer of the Month is Jacquelynne Steves from The Noble Wife. Her free project, “For Ella’s Sister,” is shown above. Pat Sloan has interviewed Marianne on the Aurifil blog. (That’s where you go to download the pattern for her free project!)

Each month this year, a different designer has been giving away a free pattern on the Aurifil blog (my month was January). Remember – if you make any project from the design team, load a photo to our Aurifil Flickr group; this puts you in the running to win an Aurifil thread prize!

GIVEAWAY!
Each month this year, I’m going to be giving away a pack of Aurifil minispools (like the one shown above) when the new project is announced. Just leave a comment after this post telling me if you have ever tried Aurifil thread. I'll pull a name at random on Saturday, December 10 at noon EST. The sampler pack includes great colors in different weights. AND THE WINNER IS… Made by Herbie Hands

Have I tried it? Oh yes and I am an Aurifill addict. I have a box full of threads. I even bought a big box with 30 colors. Awesome!I use the cotton (Mako) and the Auriroyal (for quilting and embroidery) a lot!gr. Marjolijn

I have never tried it yet, though I have seen it all over and especially in your work! I have a lot of thread lying about that other people have given me and though I would love to try aurifil, I keep thinking I ought to use up what I have got before buying new. Trying it out might well change my mind? :-)

I believe I have used Aurifil, but it's not the one I normally use. I'd love to win the pack to see if I'd like to use them more often. I've heard good things about it.Thanks for the chance to do that.

Having difficulty posting to your blog - after click submit get HTTP 504 error message. Will attempt again. If there are duplicates, please understand that there is no confirmation of a post.

I'm hoping to win an Aurifil sampler with thread in a color that can use for piecing projects (not bright orange - something more neutral). I have an orange minispool yet no orange project. I hear that it is wonderful for piecing. I'm also curious about the sashiko weight thread.Thanks fir the chance.

Marcia W: Sorry you were having problems. The way the comments are set up on blogger (or at least on my blog), you don't get a confirmation. Comments used to post immediately, but I got slammed with tons of Japanese pornography, so I have to moderate comments now. That is why they do not appear immediately. The sampler pack I am giving away does not have neutral colors. It is the one shown in the photo. Sorry!

Yes, I love Aurifil. I bought a spool just to try, & did a binding with it & I could not BELIEVE how smooth the hand was! As they say.ike butter! Now my challenge is to shift my (fairly large) thread stash over to Aurifil. The restjust doesn't feel as good now.Thanks for the chance to win!

It would be a dream come true to win a smple pack of Auriful thread with the different weights of threads to try out on differnt projects. I've never used Auriful thread as in Canada it is very costly to say the least. I would love to promote this product to the Home Ec. class and to the many Canadian Quilters in my area.

No, I've never even heard of Aurifil. I live in a very small town and we don't really have much here in the way of any crafting supplies. I'd love to try it! Thank you for the chance to win. Christybotm2@yahoo.com

Hi, I have never tried Aurifil thread, but have wanted to try it. I have heard wonderful things about it. Would love to win this sampler pack to see how it sews up. Am going to the Aurifil site to definitely download the beautiful quilts. Thanks for the giveaway. Janet P

I do not think I have tried Aurifil Thread yet. I would like too try it so I could submit an article about it to our Guild's monthly newsletter. Please put my name in the drawing.Penny G65tucker@hughes.net
